Re: How many differences will there be between the lineups each weekend?

16-25, but I'm not very optimistic. Either way I agree that only the small bands and maybe one or two bigger names will be different. And that will be enough for most boardies to spend 800 bucks instead of 400!

Ron Paul 2012!

Upcoming Shows:
Four Tet
Coachella 4/20-4/22
Death Cab for Cutie/Magik Magik Orchestra
Radiohead
some other bands

It's not just a matter of the lineup differences, by going to both you can make up for conflicts.

It is to resolve conflicts AND go to two coachellas.

If I had the option, I would've this year.

Plus maybe the Chems could've played a full fucking set that way.

You say that as if it won't matter...

I think of how NYPC had to cancel in 08 cause they couldn't afford to come over for the festival. I'm sure there are a lot of bands out there with no real presence in the states who take a loss to come over for one weekend because "it's Coachella". Even with double the paycheck, those costs are going to increase if they were to stay for another week. Some of these bands may be able to find gigs in between, but paying absolute shit on account of the lack of awareness that the US has of them.

And I suspect the bands that it will affect will be ones we'd find fourth line and below. I don't know about you, but that's where a lot of the bands I get the most excited about fall. Hell, this year's winning act for me, Trentemoller, was all the way down in small print on the 6th line. (Although giving his tour this year, probably would have worked out regardless... but if he had no intentions to tour I could see it having been a huge deal)

It makes me think that we're either going to end up with a fairly varied undercard... or we're going to just lose a lot of the "fringe" in an effort to make the lineups identical...

Bands from off continent aren't gonna have to fly over twice to play at Twochella. Yes, it's extra cost to find support for the inbetween days but I would think double (or near double) the payout is going to make up for that if their main issue before was crossing an ocean.

Also just the fact that a band is going to play Coachella puts them on the radar of some folks. Yes, many of these people go to Coachella and won't necessarily want to see them again but some of them will and plenty of people - even with Twochella - will still opt for picking from the great run of local shows due to touring patterns.
